I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.

I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn’t supported on Linux.

I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.

Well that’s great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they’d get back to me when I could get access.

I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It’s never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I’ve used where it doesn’t sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.

I’m curious what do you find horrible about it? I use it all the time and have zero issues with it.

On a <5 minute video?

DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.

I’m here giving it a try since I was using Sync Premium for Reddit for a long time before leaving Reddit. I was initially using the Voyager (WefWef) PWA and liked it a lot but definitely giving this a solid shot since I liked the Reddit one a ton. If I end up sticking around in the Fediverse and in Sync I might drop the $20 USD to remove adds and support the devs.

I sure wish we had more of them. There’s one in the entirety of our county, which is actually quite large. They’re so much better than four-way stops.

Yeah it’s definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.

Yes, but at the very end, and humans are unfortunately known to only half-dead titles and then run with it haha.

Jeez what a title. I bet most folks read the title and assume it means better for health reasons not environmental reasons.

I love Dave’s Garage! Great channel.

As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.

You’ve reached lemmy.one!

Tailscale all the way.

ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.

That’s the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it’s so much easier. I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t use one.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

I love OpenRGB. It’s such a fast and lightweight alternative to Corsair iCUE, which is needlessly heavy, clunky, and resource-intensive just to tell your lights what color to be.
